Waiting for the return of Supernatural - that ended on a real
cliffhanger.

Smallville, so I can start watching it with my niece again (although
she did make me fork out £15 for Smallville S4 on dvd the other
night).

Chuck.

And a bunch of other shows, but I'm not sure if they're coming back or
if they've been cancelled - Moonlight, Bloodties, plus some others I
can't remember atm.

Also, "Z Rock" on IFC seems good so far.

unfortunately moonlight was canceled. the reason it won't be renewed
like jericho is because apparently those people who wrote in in favor
of the show were actually writing in in favor of alex o'loughlin not
necessarily the show itself.

it does look like pretty slim pickens for new shows. i've only got
three listed above. it seems we've been getting better shows in the
spring and summer rather than the fall. and those aren't on the major
networks, but on cable.

i've been catching up on old brit shows at the library. (whole section
for brit tv/movies). this week: second sight (last one), sharpe's
eagle, north and south, a fine romance (first four eps) and monarch of
the green - series 1.

Sharpes ok, historically dodgy and the books are, by and large, better.

Dexter would be great if I had showtime. I'll have to wait and Morrison
it.

I forgot about True Blood. I need to set up a recording for that.

True Blood on HBO seems like it will be fun.

Penni we need to get you a Tivo thingy, we're up to 2 dual tuner HD boxes
now, and its nice, its once in a blue moon where there are 4 things on at
once we want to see, but its nice to have the option.

Amazon unbox downloads over Tivo have almost supplanted Netflix in the
house, the wife has not yet really taken to the new Youtube over Tivo
feature.

It's the thingy with Anna Paquin in and based on a series of books called
something like southern vampire?
I saw a promo of the first episode and was less than impressed, I might
give it a go but it was very, very generic.

I've still not seen Six Feet Under but have certainly hear enough good
things. However, "Vampire Drama" doesn't inspire confidence.

i have a recorderable dvd player. i'm just too lazy to set it. and
since most of the shows i like are online anyway and with less
commercials it's just as easy to watch them there.

most of the dvds watched here come from the library. i'm never in that

I really like the books, but the show looks iffy. For some reason,
they felt the need to add explicit sex scenes, which the books don't
have (they're quite genteel).

My niece is pushing for a full Angel or Buffy box set for Xmas.

Not watched either for ages, although I have most on DVD.

Just ordered Supernatural S1 and 2, that arrives tomorrow.

My guess would be it would be based on the books by Laurel K. Hamilton:
The Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series.

Isn't that expensive? I mean, paying for the Tivos, the cable service
(since they charge for HD) and the monthly costs associated with Tivo?

Amazon unbox downloads over Tivo? You mean it might be time to replace my
Series 1?

No, once you're digital, and Comcast just switched a while back. They don't
charge me for the Cablecards, and with the second dual tuner box I could
give back the cablebox we had in the bewdroom.

The Bedroom unit I put on the $99 a year plan, and the Living Room unit
will probably go on it too.

Remember the HD units do over the Air HD as well so if you live somewhere
with decent TV reception all you pay is the Tivo subscription to cover the
guide information.

When we eventually move back to Texas, I am pondering going all OTA, as I
DFW is mostly low flat plain, and TV reception is pretty good with just
rabbit ears.

Could be, I gave away a Series 2 on the fourth of July, and promised my
last one to a friend of the wife.

The show is based on a series of Southern vampire books by Charlaine

Stackhouse (played by X-Men's Paquin) and 130-year-old bloodsucker Bill

I was talking to my Geordie sister-in-law about the Keeg-run yesterday.
Mind you as a Brum fan our board isn't much better,we're in desperate
need of some defensive players but the board won't spring for them and
are letting other players go for a song.
We've had some great loan players but will get nowhere if they don't sign
them to get some stability and talent in the team.
